Here's an amazing clip in which TV's Morton Downey Jr. puts horror movies on trial. Anyone heard of John Anastasio outside of this clip?

- I'm a pop culture-focused critic and editor who's written thousands of reviews and edited many more. If you've read me, it was probably in The A.V. Club, the entertainment section of The Onion. If not, for goodness sake, go there now. It's awesome. I live in Andersonville, a neighborhood on the north side of Chicago, with my lovely wife, our cat, and an overactive dog.

What? Some people object to Last House on the Left? :-)
What's weird about this clip-- okay, there are a lot of weird things-- is that the movie in question, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, is defensible on all sorts of high-falutin' grounds. After all, it's inspired by Ingmar Bergman's THE VIRGIN SPRING. But that Gore magazine guy doesn't seem to know his own genre behind the special effects, which really aren't much of a factor in LHOTL.
Ah, Morton Downey, Jr. May you "zip it" in peace.
The sunglasses don't help his case.
